New Releases by Melissa Guion

A mother penguin stays very busy taking care of her many babies and teaching them important lessons about such things as sliding, waddling, preening--and love.

Can there be such a thing as too many adorable penguins? One day a penguin sees a most unusual sight: a hat floating in the icy water. Even more unusual? Out of the hat pops a baby penguin. But not just one baby penguin . . . or even two. But a third, and a fourth, and on and on! At first the mama penguin is happy for the company. Until she realizes that taking care of a family is very hard, very tiring work, and what she could really use is just a moment alone. Yet as newcomer Melissa Guion reminds us in her adorable debut picture book, alone time is all well and good, but, it''s together time that''s best of all. Perfect for any mama penguin with a family, or classroom, full of mischievous little ones.
